Georgia's Statewide Academic & Medical System (GSAMS) is one of the world's largest two-way interactive H.320 video networks, providing citizens throughout the state access to resources without the restrictions of time or distance. Approximately 400 sites ranging from elementary schools to rural hospitals have held more than 120,000 conferences since GSAMS’ inception in 1992. Georgia Southwestern State University is a participant in the Georgia Statewide Academic and Medical System (GSAMS) program. We operate one interactive video classroom. GSAMS allows GSW to connect with over 400 similarly equipped sites statewide, including colleges, universities, technical schools, K-12 schools, medical facilities, and government offices. The GSAMS system was named most outstanding statewide distance education network in 1998 by the United States Distance Learning Association.
